🇭🇹Haïti a besoin d'une aide internationale urgente alors que la violence s'intensifie. Des millions de personnes ont du mal à se procurer de la nourriture, un abri et des services essentiels.

Voici l'histoire d'une vendeuse de rue de 37 ans qui a fui la violence à plsrs reprises:

Fake margaritas
Fake security narrative (he negotiated with gang leaders)
Fake homicide rates (low, but not as low as he claims)
Fake justice system (no due process)
Fake justice for gang victims (nobody sentenced since state of emergency)

Who takes Bukele's word seriously?

Is Bukele still El Salvador’s savior? Not for all abroad - The Boston Globe An über popular president once hailed as a bold reformer by Salvadorans in the United States is now facing backlash for aligning himself too closely with Trump.

"As his partnership with Trump deepens, many in the [Salvadoran] diaspora are beginning to question whether Bukele still represents their interests or if he has traded them away for political clout": @marcelagarcia.bsky.social

Once a champion for Venezuelans, Rubio endorses Trump decision to end Venezuela TPS Secretary of State Marco Rubio, once a stalwart champion of Venezuelan immigrants, supports President Donald Trump’s decision to end the deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of people alr...

In 2022, then-Senator Rubio wrote that failing to renew the TPS for Venezuelans would be a "very real death sentence”.

So, why does he support terminating the TPS now? He knows well that conditions in Venezuela haven't improved the sightliest.

US/El Salvador: Venezuelan Deportees Forcibly Disappeared The governments of the United States and El Salvador have subjected more than 200 Venezuelan nationals to enforced disappearances and arbitrary detention, Human Rights Watch said today.

International law has a precise term for what the Trump administration and El Salvador have done to over 200 deported Venezuelans and their families:

Enforced disappearance.

Trump and Bukele are attempting to create a Guantanamo on steroids—a prison where they can detain migrants and asylum seekers outside the protection of the law.

These Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans and Haitians came to the US legally, fleeing dictatorships and widespread violence.

Exposing them to deportations is a cruel betrayal.

Asylum seekers are being sent to prisons in El Salvador that are allegedly committing human rights abuses.

“This is an effort to create a Guantánamo on steroids, to put these people outside the protections of the law,” says @juanpappierhrw.bsky.social, a director with Human Rights Watch.

Bukele le está ofreciendo a Trump una especie de Guatánamo Centroaméricano.

¿Qué gana Bukele, además de dinero? ¿Garantizar el silencio de los líderes de la MS13 sobre el pacto que tuvieron con su gobierno?

White House official says 137 immigrants deported under Alien Enemies Act Trump officials said the deportations don’t violate a judge’s order barring use of the Alien Enemies Act for removals — but also questioned the order’s validity.

El Salvador is offering to become a Central American version of Guantánamo to help Trump avoid scrutiny over the treatment of migrants and asylum seekers, I told

🚨 Every December the UN General Assembly’s 5th Committee (budget) negotiations on the following year’s budget go down to the wire. This year’s no different. As usual, governments hostile to human rights launch a desperate bid to defund UN human rights work.
